The city of Burlingame will be directly affected by the High SpeedRail plans. The project which was approved by voters in 2008, will have significant impacts on Peninsula communities. The High Speed Rail service construction is scheduled to begin in 2010 and will connect San Francisco and Los Angeles. Tracks will run along the Peninsula Corridor. Burlingame residents love their train station which was built at the end of the nineteenth century and recently received a face lift. How will our station look with an elevated track behind it?The city of Burlingame has asked for an underground solution. But less expensive plans call for an elevated track and sound walls. Burlingame residents are concerned. The High Speed Rail tracks will affect the value of Burlingame Real Estate in general, not just Burlingame neighborhoods close to the tracks.Next Public High Speed Rail Meeting 5/12/2010 @ 6PM, Burlingame Recreation Center, 850 Burlingame AveMore information about this subject:
